The battle Of Austerlitz was fought on
December 2, 1903. Early in 1906 peace
was made by the treaty Of Presburg and
Napoleon returned to Paris, to occupy him
self in consolidating his influence in Ger
many by founding the Confederation of the
Rhine. 1t was at this time, in the year
1906, when he was in the zenith, or about
the zenith, of his fortunes that the por-
trait by Longhi was taken. The face is
certainly extremely handsome there is
great refinement in the features, and ev-
cry indication of intellectual power The
remarkable thing about it is that it does
not in the least suggest a warrior it is
hard to imagine that it is a portrait of Ma
poleon, drawn in the brief period which in
tervened between Austerlitz and Jena 1t
is, however, a great mistake TO regard Ma
doleon as only. or even chiefly, a soldier
great as he certainly was in the field, he
was equally great in the cabinet No man
of his day took hold of the work of govern
ment with anything approaching the ener-
gy or capacity displayed by him no man
of any day has ever surpassed him. Roads,
canals, colleges, schools, civil as well as
military, all received his attention re-
forms Of administration and of taxation,
all the manifold tasks of government were
approached in an enlightened spirit with
the clear goOd-sense of a man of affairs,
and with an entire absence of the preju-
dices so characteristic of this period
Above all, his code, at which he employed
the best lawyers of the day, and which he
pushed through to completion in the com
paratively brief period of four years from
its inception, feeling, as he did, thorough
conviction Of its prime necessity, in casting
into the form of law the great practical
reforms which had been brought in by the
Revolution-this work stamps him as be-
ing, beyond question, the most sound and
practical statesman of his time, so far as
the internal management of his country
was concerned.
In all this, however, there was no philan-
thropy, strictly so called. Napoleon was
only a ruler, possessed of great power,
having comprehensive and clear mind,
fully acquainted with the needs of the pub
lie service, addressing himself to all the
tasks of government, and especially to the
task Of improving the condition of the pop
ulations over which he ruled with an ener-
gy, assiduity, and intelligence rarely, if
ever, seen before. He was not phian-
thropist let us admit, but he was probably
great deal better ruler than if he had
been philanthropist. No sentiment ever
disturbed his vision, or turned him aside
from carrying through what he deemed to
be a desirable reform. -lSctfbner's Maga-

AN EARLY CHRISTIAN CEMETERY.-Com
pared with the discovery of an ancient
Egyptian metropolis, the finding of an early
Christian cemetery is somewhat tame
event yet an early Christian cemetery
near Alexandria, where the followers of
the new faith suffered so many and such
bitter prosecutions, has a special and pain
full interest. Such a cemetery has just
been discovered underlying the sand-hills
and rubbish heaps which lie to right and
left of the Ramleh line, about half way be-
tween Alexandria and Mustpha Pasha sta
ton. Somewhere hereabouts stood the city
and camp of Nicopolis, so called in memory
of the victory which Augustus here achiev-
ed over Antony and his adherents and not
far from the same spot stands, or till lately
stood, the little cupola-topped building in
which Sir Ralph Abercrombie breathed his
last The mounds are full of fragments of
sculpture, broken stone, pottery and the
like, and the Arabs are constantly digging
them in search of limestone, which they
burn in extemporized kins all over the
ground. In the course of this digging the
aforementioned cemetery was discovered
early in the past month. The Arab lime
burners are actively continuing these ex-
